The Endless Tick Tock of the Clock

The endless tick tock Echoing off the walls and into my mind A clock hangs on the wall Counting the seconds The minutes The hours The time that makes up my life Does it know anything about me? Can it see the stress it causes me? Every tick shortens my life Every tock bring be closer to my end My mind wanders It wonders Have I lead a happy life? Have I made others happy? One day my heart knows My mind remembers The clock will stop My life will fade and I will never know Have I had any affect on anyone? Have I made one person smile? Did I matter?

As the clock ticks, we seem to run too fast trying to fit life in. I like your use of questions--gives the reader with something to think about. Thank you for your kind words on my poem. Keep on writing. Karen
